Manual IAM cleanup is a slow, inconsistent process that leaves an expanding attack surface of orphaned accounts and excessive privileges. A custom autonomous workflow automates this by orchestrating agents that continuously reconcile identity data from HR systems (Workday, SAP) with Active Directory and cloud IAM (AWS IAM, Azure AD). This eliminates the latency and human error of periodic reviews, directly reducing credential-based attack vectors and operational risk. The architecture must integrate with existing directories, enforce approval gates for privileged changes, and maintain a full audit trail for compliance.
